Therapists in Colorado

Bienvenidas! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving clients in California and Colorado. My practice is rooted in a fat liberation lens, which means I actively support you in dismantling internalized and societal fatphobia to cultivate a compassionate relationship with your body. I provide a nurturing space to process life transitions, career changes, burnout, and the journey of becoming a cycle-breaker—particularly within the BIPOC community. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I hold deep respect for those who are new to therapy or returning to it. My goal is to create a culturally-grounded, safe environment where you can heal and grow. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a powerful tool we can use to access and process deep emotional pain and trauma that traditional talk therapy may not reach.

I’m Will. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from The Ohio State University and my master’s in Clinical Psychology from University of Denver. I see therapy as a space where we can slow things down, sit with what’s really happening underneath the surface, and better understand the patterns, emotions, and protective responses shaping your experience. I’m here to help hold and explore feelings with you, not judge or push them away. We can resist to acknowledge certain emotions because of a lot of things; shame, “shoulds,” self-judgment. beliefs we’ve absorbed from others. But mostly because its just becomes a reflex established in childhood that kept us safe. Feelings do not have to be objectively true or rational (the amygdala tends not to care about that) to deserve our attention and empathy . When we slow down enough to acknowledge and hold space for them, emotions can return to their original purpose: giving us information about our needs, wants, boundaries, and experiences instead of quietly driving behaviors underneath our awareness. I won’t lie — this work can feel challenging and even awkward at first. Most of us were never taught how to truly sit with ourselves. But in my experience, this kind of work creates deeper and more lasting nervous system change than only relying on coping skills to manage emotions. Your emotions and feeling are who you are, when the are free to be expressed and acknowledged my clients find parts of themselves that were previously thought to be loss.

I work with adults who want more from life, their relationships, or themselves but feel stuck getting there, overwhelmed, or like they should be further along. I support clients navigating life transitions, anxiety, stress or dissatisfaction with life, health or work, sleep concerns, communication and boundary issues, dating and relationship challenges, and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I’m straightforward, relatable, and down to earth, with room for humor and honest conversation. At times, that also means respectfully challenging patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back. As a naturalized U.S. citizen from Germany, I also bring personal understanding of adapting to a new culture and enjoy working with immigrants and first-generation Americans navigating life between cultures. My approach is practical, collaborative, solution-focused, and trauma-informed. Together, we'll build on your strengths, gain new perspectives, and develop practical tools and strategies to help you create lasting change and a life you can more fully enjoy. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor serving adults across Colorado.

I am a board-certified Music Therapist and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience, serving clients across California and Colorado. My own journey informs my work: I grew up in California and built a successful business before transitioning my life to Colorado. I then spent two years as a digital nomad—traveling by car across the US and living abroad for 1.5 years—all while managing and growing my business. I understand how to maintain excellence while in motion, and I use an IFS-informed somatic and creative approach to help you find that same internal groundedness and freedom.

Hello, I am Tom. I understand that our lives are profoundly shaped by significant people and experiences that influence the way we connect with others, how we think, and how we perceive the world around us. Some of these experiences are joyful and uplifting, while others may bring pain. It is natural for both types of experiences to leave a lasting mark on our identity, self-esteem, and sense of purpose. My goal is to walk alongside you as you explore the meaning behind these relationships and experiences. I offer a compassionate and supportive space where we can meet you right where you are, nurturing a genuine therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples, and teenagers, and my approach is both eclectic and strengths-based. I focus on a variety of issues, including attachment, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I understand the challenges surrounding behavior management, parenting, divorce recovery, and offer Christian counseling. I also have experience in navigating ADHD, family dynamics, intimate relationships, sexual health, stress, and spirituality. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts (MA) degree, I bring both my professional expertise and genuine commitment to our sessions together. It is truly a privilege for me to accompany you on your journey toward healing from past experiences, navigating the present, and fostering meaningful change for the future. If you feel ready to take that important next step, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I’m a compassionate counseling professional dedicated to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and explore your thoughts and emotions without fear. My role is to walk alongside you in that process, offering guidance, insight, and practical tools that support your growth. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique experiences, values, and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices while remaining flexible and responsive to what works best for you. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck, I focus on helping you build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and develop a clearer sense of direction. I strive to balance warmth and empathy with honesty and gentle challenge, helping you recognize patterns that may be holding you back while also honoring your strengths. Clients often describe my style as grounded, approachable, and supportive, with a focus on real-life application. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel more confident, resilient, and connected—to yourself and to others. I’m committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and capable of meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a compassionate and experienced therapist, here to support you in navigating life's challenges and improving your mental well-being. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and art/play therapy, tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions, I'm here to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, develop healthier coping strategies, and work towards meaningful change in your life. I believe that our interpersonal relationship is key to a successful therapeutic experience.

I work best with high-achieving adults who are used to being the strong, capable person others rely on but feel exhausted from constantly pushing through. Many of my clients once felt active, motivated, and confident, but stress, caregiving, work, parenting, or major life transitions have left them overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves. You may struggle with anxiety, burnout, low energy, perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling guilty when you rest. Even when you are accomplishing a great deal, your inner critic may continue telling you that you are not doing enough. As someone who values movement, the outdoors, personal growth, and the connection between physical and emotional health, I understand the importance of reconnecting with the parts of yourself that stress has pushed aside. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, compassionate, and direct, with room for honesty and humor. Together, we will quiet self-criticism, establish healthier boundaries, and develop realistic strategies that fit your life. Therapy is not about pushing harder. It is about finding your ground, reconnecting with yourself, and moving toward your next summit with greater balance, confidence, and self-trust.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual and in-person therapy in Colorado. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s changes and challenges with compassion and authenticity. My approach is holistic, nonjudgmental, and empowering. Every part of your story matters, from your relationships and environment to your past experiences. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Outside of therapy, you’ll find me exploring Colorado trails with my dog, planning adventures with family and friends, or watching TV beside my cats (they run the house). Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but we’ll show up authentically and use a bit of humor when life feels heavy. I’m excited to begin this healing journey with you. Let's get started!

Hi! I'm Megan, Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you're facing anxiety, burnout, a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating challenges related to stress, parenting, relationships, career shifts, and emotional well-being. With 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and to help you reconnect with your sense of clarity and purpose. My approach is person-centered and goal-oriented. We’ll work together to identify what matters most to you, then use practical tools—often drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—to help you build insight, emotional resilience, and momentum toward change. Whether you're working through something specific or simply ready to invest in your growth, I’ll meet you where you are with warmth, respect, and real support.

With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping individuals thrive. I have served in a wide range of clinical and leadership roles-therapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, and adjunct professor-and have worked in diverse settings such as group homes, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, schools, and most recently, private practice. Licensed as an LPC in Colorado and an LMHC in Florida, I am committed to providing effective, compassionate care that is both present-focused and future-oriented—helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 18 years of experience helping adults navigate burnout, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I work with high-functioning individuals who often appear to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are used to pushing through, taking care of others, and managing everything on their own—until it stops working. They come to me looking for more than just coping strategies. They want to understand what’s driving their patterns and experience real, lasting change. My approach integrates EMDR, parts work, and nervous system-focused therapy to help you move beyond surface-level solutions. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, process unresolved experiences, and shift the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. The impact of this work is more than symptom relief. Clients often begin to feel calmer, more grounded, and clearer in their decisions. They develop a stronger sense of self, improved boundaries, and a greater ability to navigate stress without becoming overwhelmed. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to make meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to keep doing this alone—change is possible, and it can feel more sustainable than you might expect.

Hi, I'm Shelly — a licensed professional counselor with a passion for helping people find their footing when life feels overwhelming. My journey in mental health began decades ago in music therapy, working in psychiatric settings where I first witnessed the remarkable capacity people have to heal when given the right support and a safe space. That foundation shapes the way I work to this day — with attunement, creativity, and a deep belief in each person's capacity to heal. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, trauma, and addiction recovery, using evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build real, lasting skills rather than just temporary relief. I have a particular heart for neurodivergent individuals — including those with ADHD and autism — who may have spent years feeling misunderstood. You do fit — sometimes it just takes the right space to discover that. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Good therapy isn't just about insight — it's about leaving each session with something you can actually use. I'll meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels right, and work hard to make sure our time together is meaningful. For clients who desire it, I welcome the integration of faith and spirituality into our work. I believe healing touches the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit — and that for many people, faith isn't separate from their healing but central to it. I hold that with care and without pressure. Whether you're navigating a specific struggle or carrying a weight you've held for too long, you don't have to do it alone. Reaching out is the hardest step — and I'm really glad you're here. I'd love the opportunity to connect.

I’ve long been curious about the human experience—how people adapt, cope, and grow through life’s challenges. This curiosity, along with a deep respect for human resilience, led me to the field of mental health and continues to shape how I approach my work today. In therapy, I aim to create a thoughtful, collaborative space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, past trauma, parenting stress, or life transitions. They may appear steady on the outside while carrying a great deal internally. Together, we work toward deeper self-understanding, practical coping strategies, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I strive to provide affirming, non-judgmental care where all identities and lived experiences are respected. Whether someone is seeking healing from past experiences, support through a life transition, or simply a steadier way of navigating daily stress, therapy can be a collaborative process that helps people feel more grounded, supported, and connected to themselves.

There are times in life when our ability to cope is no longer sufficient to get us through a difficult passage or challenge. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed or lost. Therapy with me can help you develop coping skills, build resilience and heal. I am passionate about walking the healing journey with you while focusing on supporting your strengths. I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years’ experience. I apply my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and relationship/couples counseling to help you recover and develop your natural capacity to experience well-being and live a full, healthy life. My husband and I have raised an adopted daughter from Guatemala. It has been the privilege of a lifetime. The family expanded further recently and welcomed three canine friends! One is a loving service dog named Phoebe, the Golden Doodle. I enjoy hiking with Phoebe and cycling with my husband on our gorgeous Colorado trails.

Hi! I'm Kat, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adults, couples, and teens who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and the pressures of daily life. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what's behind the challenges you're facing. My journey in mental health began working with people in crisis. Since then, I have worked in many different settings, including doctor's offices, intensive group programs, and private practice. These experiences taught me that mental health is about the whole person, body, spirit, and the people around you. Over the years, I have gotten really good at helping people who are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, and addiction. My approach is warm, gentle, and free of judgment. I want you to feel safe being yourself and talking openly about hard feelings, past experiences, or patterns in your relationships. I believe real change comes from both understanding yourself and feeling supported. I work together with my clients to help them communicate better and take better care of themselves. Sometimes my job as a therapist is to challenge old beliefs that are holding you back. Therapy can bring comfort, but it can also help you face hard feelings and learn how to work through them.
